This has to be taken with a grain of salt unless it's well reproduced and in longitudinal human studies too. Every day there's new medical research showing the cause of this or that, or linking something with something else. A lot of it turns out to be wrong. Remember antioxidants and free radicals, aluminium cookware causing Alzheimer's disease, polyunsaturated oil, fish oil, etc. etc. Just more medical science hype.

It has been proved multiple times that antibiotic residues from farm animals end up in the human body... together with antibotic-resistent strains of bacteria. What we're doing with the animals we eat is essentially creating a global-scale evolution accelerator for bacteria.

Only that this kind of evolution is not beneficient for us humans... only for the planet Earth, which rids itself from the disease we humans have become.
